Are you sure about that? It would mean you can't go to strip clubs no more!
Yes, I even married one
Just married one? Man, what an underachiever!

LOL! I didn't realize there might be a downside.
I'm demanding :yes:
I voted no, but I feel like the poll was too absolute with only two options to give me an accurate way to vote, so I have to explain how I actually feel about it.
Generally speaking, fitness level is something I'm really attracted to. Not like, the works-out-two-hours-in-the-gym-every-day guy, but just the guy that gets regular exercise, eats right, and stays pretty trim. It would determine a lot of what we would do together- play sports, go hiking, go cycling, things like that, and it shows where they put their priorities (assuming they have no medical condition otherwise). I'm kind of a health nut when it comes to what I cook and what I do, so it seems like there would be a lot of incompatibility there if I tried dating someone that wasn't into much of that stuff. In practice, if I recall all of the guys I've been attracted to, they were generally not overweight people.
But, it depends how overweight we're talking. There are a range of healthy body shapes. To me, it's not like I'm going to measure their body fat percentage and see if it's over some cut-off point. Instead, what would attract or not attract me to them are behavioral things, like how disciplined their personality is, what their activities tend to be, what their food habits tend to be, what sort of style they have, and how they take care of their body, and most of that happens at a subconscious level for me. So it's not as simple as a "yes" or "no" question for me.

But...but...without my strip clubs, I'll have no where to go when I want to meditate on the nature and properties of desire! I'll miss my meditations and miss afterwards feeling reconciled to the world. It will be...horrible!

I have no judgments or prejudices towards overweight people, but I've always seem to be attracted to men who are on the slender side, and big muscles is a no no...but a little muscle is nice. I know lots of men and women who find their S/O that is overweight very attractive.

You could always "mediate" on desire alone with me, the choice is yours!
I feel that would be more than a little interesting! :flirt:

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
Date one? I married one! Over 20 years and close as day one. :0)
Never regretted it.
There is s downside though. It's true in which you need to prepare to deal with health issues and expense related with overweight people. Recently my wife started weightwatchers. I think her weight got to her as she mentioned being tired of feeling sick all the time. She's been doing well so far and lost some weight and recently engaged in exercise. She's in a group that meets weekly.

Well fit women can have bigger breasts and wider hips too. Look at Kate Upton and Shakria for example.
Me Myself
Back to my username
I dont trust BMI at all, muscles can be hawt deending n the way they are shaped in them.
Pictures of how overweght you mean might make it easier for me
Not only would I date an overweight man, I actually prefer them over skinny guys.
by this, I think I would just accept to date "slightly overweight"
How should I vote then?
I'd say vote yes. I'd also so this doesn't look extremely accurate based on many people I know around 30bmi who, on this, would fit "slightly overweight".
